According to him, in his quest to gain financial freedom while he worked in the United States, he ventured into the real estate sector albeit with no money.
In an interview with television show host Deloris Frimpong Manso on the Delay Show, Dr. Amoah said he made the vast majority of his wealth by facilitating the entry of global remittance service provider, Western Union, into Africa.
Shedding light on his success as a successful businessman, he said he owns several housing properties in the US.
